Is it safe for me to have a drink tonight?

I'm feeling a bit fed up tonight. I had a mc at the end of jan after ttc for a whole year. I didn't start ttc again until my first AF which happend 4 weeks after the mc. We did absolutely everything we could this month (even dtd every day!). I'm on day 29 today and I've guessed for about a week I'm not pg because my boobs aren't even slightly sore and today I've started to get like a rusty brown spotting so basically I think this is the start of a period. But I'm now so desperate I don't want to jeopardise my chances but then again I'm so down in the dumps I could murder a glass of wine

Have a drink if you want one. Loads of girls carry on drinking without knowing they're pregnant with no ill effects. I rear that as there is no shared blood supply between mum and baby for several more weeks, anything you do drink won't reach baby anyway. Hopefully af won't arrive for you.

Have a drink, a couple won't hurt. I didn't realise I was pregnant until I was over six weeks - I'd been on holiday drinking alcohol, caffeine, eating blue cheese, pate, poached eggs, been into steam rooms/saunas etc every day. My midwife told me not to worry, it happens all the time.
It sounds to me like you need to have a nice evening after a stressful time. Have a drink or three and enjoy yourself. Don't worry.

Thank you for your replies. What you say makes sense. I think I let myself get too stressed over the whole ttc thing. Ironically the month I conceived before my mc was when I started to relax over Christmas. Everything in moderation I suppose. Thanks ladies xxx

I was the same - ttc for a few months, when we stopped actively trying and just let ourselves go over xmas i got preg! Like others have said, many people carry on drinking way into pregnancy without knowing, it's only if you're a very heavy drinker that things like foetal alcohol syndrome occur. And don't forget it wasn't that long ago women were encouraged to drink a guinness a day, or red wine during pregnancy!
